Fabrication of niobium doped Pb（Zr, Ti）O3 fibers by viscous polymer processing

A technique based on viscous polymer processing （VPP） was described, which can produce high ceramic content green fibers. PZT-5 ceramic powders were ball milled to get high dispersibility. The slurry prepared for VPP was a composition of PZT-5 powder, PVA binder and glycerin. High ceramic content PZT-5 fibers were extruded with the slurry. The results show that the ceramic powders have fine mean particle size of 0.54 pan, high specific surface area of 3.55 m^2/g and zeta potential of 8.81 mV after 16 h milling. The fibers sintered at 1 280 ℃ for 4 h have pure perovskite structure and grains of 2-5 μm in size, with little pores or cracks. The ultimate tensile strength of sintered fibers is up to 13.84 MPa compared with 2.88 MPa of green fibers. The remnant polarization （Pr） and coercive field （Ec） of the fibers are 50.65 μC/cm^2 and 2.45 kV/mm, respectively. This fiber can withstand an electric field of 9 kV/mm higher than the ceramic （5 kV/mm）, which shows high directional and compact qualities.

Power of the Swipe: Why Mobile Websites Should Add Horizontal Swiping to Tapping,Clicking, and Scrolling Interaction Techniques

Horizontal swiping has become a common interaction technique on smartphones, yet many mobile websites do not incorporate this functionality, instead requiring users to scroll down or click on buttons, arrow keys, and other hotspots. This is perhaps because user studies comparing swiping with other interaction techniques are scarce. An experiment was conducted (N = 252) to inform this issue by investigating whether and how adding the swiping functionality to a tap-only mobile website influences users’ intentions to use the website. The data revealed that the addition of swiping technique positively affected behavioral intentions to use the website. Perceived enjoyment was a key variable that explained this effect. These findings have design implications for mobile websites.     

A two-time-scale load balancing framework for minimizing electricity bills of Internet Data Centers

Internet Data Center (IDC) is one of important emerging cyber-physical systems. To guarantee the quality of service for their worldwide users, large Internet service providers usually operate multiple geographically distributed IDCs. The enormous power consumption of these data centers may lead to both huge electricity bills and considerable carbon emissions. To mitigate these problems, on-site renewable energy plants are emerging in recent years. Since the renewable energy is intermittent, greening geographical load balancing (GGLB for short) has been proposed to reduce both the electricity bills and carbon emissions by following the renewables. However, GGLB is not able to well deal with the wildly fluctuating wind power when applied into IDCs with on-site wind energy plants. It may either fail to minimize the total electricity bills or incur the costly frequent on–off switching of servers. In order to minimize the total electricity bills of geographically distributed IDCs with on-site wind energy plants, we formulate the total electricity bills minimization problem and propose a novel two-time-scale load balancing framework TLB to solve it. First, TLB models the runtime cooling efficiency for each IDC. Then it predicts the future fine-grained (e.g., 10-min) on-site wind power output at the beginning of each scheduling period (e.g., an hour). After that, TLB transforms the primal optimization problem into a typical mixed-integer linear programming problem and solves it to finally obtain the optimal scheduling policy including the open server number as well as the request routing policy. It is worth noting that the open server number of each IDC will remain the same during each scheduling period. As an application instance of TLB, we also design a two-time-scale load balancing algorithm TLB-ARMA for our experimental scenario. Evaluation results based on real-life traces show that TLB-ARMA is able to reduce the total electricity bills by as much as 12.58 % compared with the hourly executed GGLB without incurring the costly repeated on–off switching of servers.     

A scalable and automatic mechanism for resource allocation in self-organizing cloud

Taking advantage of the huge potential of consumers’ untapped computing power, self-organizing cloud is a novel computing paradigm where the consumers are able to contribute/sell their computing resources. Meanwhile, host machines held by the consumers are connected by a peer-to-peer (P2P) overlay network on the Internet. In this new architecture, due to large and varying multitudes of resources and prices, it is inefficient and tedious for consumers to select the proper resource manually. Thus, there is a high demand for a scalable and automatic mechanism to accomplish resource allocation. In view of this challenge, this paper proposes two novel economic strategies based on mechanism design. Concretely, we apply the Modified Vickrey Auction (MVA) mechanism to the case where the resource is sufficient; and the Continuous Double Auction (CDA) mechanism is employed when the resource is insufficient. We also prove that aforementioned mechanisms have dominant strategy incentive compatibility. Finally, extensive experiment results are conducted to verify the performance of the proposed strategies in terms of procurement cost and execution efficiency.     

A metamodeling approach for pattern specification and management

The formal specification of design patterns is central to pattern research and is the foundation of solving various pattern-related problems.In this paper,we propose a metamodeling approach for pattern specification,in which a pattern is modeled as a meta-level class and its participants are meta-level references.Instead of defining a new metamodel,we reuse the Unified Modeling Language(UML)metamodel and incorporate the concepts of Variable and Set into our approach,which are unavailable in the UML but essential for pattern specification.Our approach provides straightforward solutions for pattern-related problems,such as pattern instantiation,evolution,and implementation.By integrating the solutions into a single framework,we can construct a pattern management system,in which patterns can be instantiated,evolved,and implemented in a correct and manageable way.
